My Journey Finding Info on Tobias Harris’s Parents
Alright, so today I got curious about Tobias Harris, you know, the basketball player. Specifically, I wanted to know a little bit about his parents. It’s always interesting to see the background of successful people. So, I decided to do a little digging, just my usual process when I want to find something out.

First thing I did, I just popped open my search engine. Nothing fancy. My go-to starting point is usually just the person’s name. So I typed in “Tobias Harris”.
- Got the basics right away.
- Professional basketball player, yeah, knew that.
- Saw he played for the 76ers for a good while.
- Looks like he just signed with the Detroit Pistons. Interesting move back there.
- Mentioned his high school stuff too, leading his team, almost winning a big award. Cool.
But that wasn’t really what I was after. I wanted to know about his folks. So, my next step was to refine the search. I went back and typed “Tobias Harris parents”.
Okay, this got me closer. Started seeing articles pop up that mentioned his family. Lots of sports news, profiles, that kind of thing. I had to skim through a few.
What I noticed pretty quickly was one name kept appearing alongside Tobias’s: Torrel Harris. It became clear pretty fast that this is his father. Found out he’s actually heavily involved in Tobias’s career, acts as his agent. That’s a pretty common story in sports, the father-agent thing.
So, that’s the dad sorted. What about his mother? That took a little more specific searching. I tried “Tobias Harris mother” and also looked through the articles mentioning Torrel Harris, sometimes they mention both parents.
Took a few clicks, but then I started seeing the name Lisa Harris mentioned in connection with Tobias and Torrel. Found some pieces talking about his family support system growing up and during his career. Seems like both parents were influential figures.
So, there it was. It wasn’t super hidden or anything. Just took a few targeted searches.
- Started broad with his name.
- Narrowed it down to “parents”.
- Identified the father, Torrel, who is also his agent.
- Specifically searched for the mother and found Lisa Harris.
And that was pretty much my process. Just following the breadcrumbs online, tweaking the search terms as I went. Started with general info, then zeroed in. Got the names I was looking for: Torrel and Lisa Harris. Another little bit of trivia logged away. Felt good to satisfy that curiosity.
